With the June 9 primaries next week, the Board of Voter Registration and Elections of Beaufort County wants to remind voters of their options.
If you have a mail-in absentee ballot:
Return your ballot as soon as possible. All mail-in absentee ballots must be received by the voter registration office no later than 7:00 p.m. on June 9 or they will be disqualified.
Bring your ballot to the Board of Voter Registration and Elections of Beaufort County in Beaufort at 15 John Galt Road, Beaufort or Bluffton at 61B Ulmer Road, Bluffton, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Election Day, June 9, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. An authorized returnee may return your ballot but they must complete authorized returnee form.
Do NOT return your absentee ballot to your polling place.
You CANNOT vote at your polling place without returning your blank ballot to the voter registration office and receiving a letter authorizing you to vote at the polls.
If you do not have a ballot but still want to vote absentee:
Due to time constraints, vote absentee in person at the Board of Voter Registration and Elections of Beaufort County Voter Registration Office in Beaufort at 15 John Galt Road, Beaufort or Bluffton at 61B Ulmer Road, Bluffton, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In-person absentee voting is also available on Saturday, June 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Beaufort and Bluffton offices.
If you need to vote absentee by mail, the deadline to submit your application is 5 p.m., Friday, June 5. First Class mail takes at least two days to be delivered.
If you are voting on Election Day:
Election officials have taken steps to protect the health of voters and poll managers:
- Poll managers have received special COVID-19 training and supplies to apply social distancing and clean common surfaces in the polling place.
- Managers will wear masks, face shields and gloves.
- Sneeze guards will be placed at check-in stations.
- Hand sanitizer will be available for voters and poll managers.
Wear a face mask if you have one, although masks are NOT required.
Bring your own pen for signing the poll list.
Practice social distancing by spacing yourself at least six feet apart from others.
Show your Photo ID by holding it up for poll managers instead of handing it to them.
You will be provided a cotton swab for making selections on the touchscreen.
Be patient and understanding with poll managers on Election Day.
